WHERE WERE THE TALIBAN OVER THE LAST 20 YEARS ? I AM SO CONFUSED
😆 How much more could go wrong mr. Biden |

Believe me or not, if US and western countries will announce that they will evacuate all the Pakistanis, or Indians or Bangladeshi or Sri Lankans who feel their life to be in danger because of their Governments, then half of the population in those countries will rush to airports making false claims. There are certainly few peoples who are really scared of Taliban, but majority of the people at Kabul Airport are those who wants to resettle in US for better economic opportunities
